Pakistan’s auto sales surge 40% as car market stages strong comeback
Pakistan’s automobile sector posted impressive growth during fiscal year 2025-26, with overall vehicle sales rising sharply as consumer demand continued to strengthen across multiple segments.
According to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), sales of cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, trucks and buses increased significantly during the fiscal year, highlighting the industry's ongoing recovery.
The report showed that car sales reached 155,000 units in FY2025-26, reflecting a strong rebound compared to the previous year. Monthly performance also remained positive, with car sales in June increasing 13 percent from May to 15,378 units.
The commercial vehicle segment recorded even stronger growth. Sales of trucks and buses surged 67 percent during the fiscal year, reaching 7,440 units. Industry experts believe increased business activity and growing transportation needs played a key role in boosting demand for commercial vehicles.
Meanwhile, sales of jeeps and pickup vehicles climbed 41 percent to 50,814 units, indicating rising demand from both individual buyers and businesses.
The two-wheeler market also remained robust. Motorcycle and rickshaw sales rose 30 percent, with total sales reaching 1,972,077 units during the fiscal year.
Analysts attribute the strong performance to improving consumer purchasing power, easier access to auto financing and the introduction of new vehicle models. Lower inflation and greater economic stability have also encouraged buyers to return to the market.
Industry stakeholders remain optimistic that if economic conditions continue to improve, Pakistan’s automotive sector could maintain its growth momentum and attract further investment in the coming months.
